Psalm 7 | New International Reader’s Version

A shiggaion of David. He sang it to the Lord about Cush, who was from the tribe of Benjamin.

1 LORD my God, I go to you for safety. Help me. Save me from all those who are chasing me.

2 If you don’t, they will tear me apart as if they were lions. They will rip me to pieces so that no one can save me.

3 LORD my God, suppose I have done something wrong. Suppose I am guilty.

4 Or I have done evil to my friend. Or I have robbed my enemy without any reason.

5 Then let my enemy chase me and catch me. Let him trample me into the ground. Let him bury me in the dust.

6 LORD, rise up in your anger. Rise up against the great anger of my enemies. My God, wake up. Command that the right thing be done.

7 Let all the people of the earth gather around you. Rule over them from your throne in heaven.

8 LORD, judge all people. LORD, show that I have done what is right. Most High God, remember that I am honest.

9 God, you always do what is right. You look deep down inside the hearts and minds of people. Bring to an end the terrible things sinful people do. Make godly people safe.

10 The Most High God is like a shield that keeps me safe. He saves those whose hearts are honest.

11 God judges fairly. He shows his anger every day.

12 If evil people don’t change their ways, God will sharpen his sword. He will get his bow ready to use.

13 He has prepared his deadly weapons. He has made his flaming arrows ready.

14 Whoever is full of evil plans trouble and ends up telling lies.

15 Whoever digs a hole and shovels it out falls into the pit they have made.

16 The trouble they cause comes back on them. The terrible things they do will happen to them.

17 I will give thanks to the LORD because he does what is right. I will sing the praises of the name of the LORD Most High.

7. Mezmur

Benyaminli Kûş'un sözlerine ilişkin Davut'un RAB'be okuduğu şigayon

1 * Sana sığınıyorum, ya RAB Tanrım! Peşime düşenlerden kurtar beni, Özgür kıl.

2 Yoksa aslan gibi parçalayacaklar beni, Kurtaracak biri yok diye, Lime lime edecekler etimi.

3 Ya RAB Tanrım, eğer şunu yaptıysam: Birine haksızlık ettiysem,

4 Dostuma ihanet ettiysem, Düşmanımı nedensiz soyduysam,

5 Ardıma düşsün düşman, Yakalasın beni, Canımı yerde çiğnesin, Ayak altına alsın onurumu. Sela

6 Öfkeyle kalk, ya RAB! Düşmanlarımın gazabına karşı çık! Benim için uyan! Buyur, adalet olsun.

7 Uluslar topluluğu çevreni sarsın, Onları yüce katından yönet.

8 RAB halkları yargılar; Beni de yargıla, ya RAB, Doğruluğuma, dürüstlüğüme göre.

9 Ey adil Tanrım! Kötülerin kötülüğü son bulsun, Doğrular güvene kavuşsun, Sen ki akılları, gönülleri sınarsın.

10 Tanrı kalkan gibi yanıbaşımda, Temiz yüreklileri O kurtarır.

11 Tanrı adil bir yargıçtır, Öyle bir Tanrı ki, her gün öfke saçar.

12 Kötüler yola gelmezse, Tanrı kılıcını biler, Yayını gerip hedefine kurar.

13 Hazır bekler ölümcül silahları, Alevli okları.

14 İşte kötü insan kötülük sancıları çekiyor, Fesada gebe kalmış, Yalan doğuruyor.

15 Bir kuyu açıp kazıyor, Kazdığı kuyuya kendisi düşüyor.

16 Kötülüğü kendi başına gelecek, Zorbalığı kendi tepesine inecek.

17 Şükredeyim doğruluğu için RAB'be, Yüce RAB'bin adını ilahilerle öveyim.
